The hairpin turn in Monte Carlo!

You know, I was near Monaco in the port of Villefranche in France when the Grand Prix took place that summer. I didn't get to go see but I hear it's a unique experience. If you've been to any professional race in America like a NASCAR race or Daytona then you'll know that Monaco is home to the Monaco Grand Prix. This race is a part of the culture of this small country. It takes place every year and from what I've gathered, it's one of the most prestigious auto races on the planet. Be sure to check the website on when the next race will be. If you're in Monaco, you're pretty much walking the route that the Grand Prix goes on, don't miss the famous hairpin turn that the drivers must do!
